Lawyer 209 CCU Legalization of proceeds obtained through criminal means

Legal support in violation of Article 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine

Money laundering, also known as "money laundering" or "legalisation of criminal proceeds", is a process by which illegally obtained funds or other valuables are made legal, i.e. "laundered". This process may involve a variety of actions aimed at concealing the origin of the proceeds of crime and making them appear legitimate.

Laundering of the proceeds of crime can take place through various channels, such as financial institutions, real estate, business enterprises, investments in valuables, etc. Criminals can use a variety of strategies to conceal the origin of their proceeds, including the creation of shell companies, the use of rollover transactions and other financial manipulation techniques.

The fight against money laundering is an important part of the fight against organised crime and the promotion of economic integrity. Many countries have adopted special laws and policies to prevent money laundering and investigate cases related to this type of financial crime.

Laundering of the proceeds of crime has serious consequences for society, as it can contribute to the growth of organised crime, disrupt economic stability and threaten national security. Therefore, this issue requires careful study and effective control measures.
